Seven Days, Seven Nights

Chapter 24: The new ghost king

Views:

If it was Zhao Sanliang who was communicating with Sur, he would definitely keep silent after receiving a text message, and told him not to die.

But Ji Heng and Su Er are similar in nature. They will never take the host lightly, but they also refuse to mix too much fear... So Ji Heng did not persuade them any more.

[I didn't change my mind before the end of the month, so I went to Yao Zhi, and I gave him the team props. ]

After getting a satisfactory reply, Sur quickly sent a text message: [Okay. ]

I slept less than four hours one night, and I went to school the next day looking a little tired.

The news of Zhu Yun's running away from home didn't last long, and it quickly spread in the class. The head teacher took a few minutes during class to remind the students that grades are not the most important thing, so don't forget about it.

"You said that Zhu Yun's grades are so good, why can't you think about it?" the boy in the front row asked in a low voice.

The class bell just rang.

Sur changed the subject: "Mr. Yao has come in."

The students in the front seat immediately turned around and sat down.

Yao Zhi stood on the podium and saw Suer's dark circles moving slightly, how could this child be more tired than himself who just came out of the game

It was inconvenient to speak during the day, and he was called to the office only when he was studying at night.

"Your mental state is not very good."

"Had a nightmare last night," Sur admitted.

Yao Zhi didn't ask much, nightmares are common to players: "Ji Heng said you want to enter the game early next month?"

Sur nodded.

Yao Zhi: "The reason."

Except for some crazy ones, most people's attitude towards the next copy is to avoid it.

Sur: "I want to make a living."

A novice has the benefits of a novice, and his thinking is not bound by the rules and regulations in the game. Moreover, he is still young, and he does not want to be tortured by this inexplicable game at the age of forty or fifty.

Yao Zhi knew that he had an idea, so he didn't impose any restrictions, and said solemnly: "Adults should be responsible for their own decisions."

Sur was silent for a moment: "I know."

At the end of the month, less than a week before the conversation, Su Er came to Yao Zhi on time after school.

Not a character who likes nonsense, Yao Zhi handed him a blue fruit: "Eat it."

"...Can you call and confirm with Ji Heng?"

It's not that Sur is suspicious, where is there a team item that is swallowed

Yao Zhi not only was not angry, but nodded: "You did the right thing."

Sur directly made a video call with Ji Heng to make sure that it was a team prop, and then he did not hesitate and took a bite.

acid.

It's like swallowing ten lemons in one bite.

It was so sour that it seemed like he had lost his sense of taste, and his vision gradually became blurred. After taking the last bite, everything in front of him was turned upside down. When he came back to his senses, he was in an old castle. In front of him was a long table with food. The aroma of the food spread almost all over the hall.

Sur's mouth was astringent, and he wanted to drink something to relieve it, but he just held back.

In order to divert his attention, he began to look around. In addition to himself and Yao Zhi, there were six players, four men and two women. But the most attractive thing at this time is not the player, but the environment.

It is the ultimate luxury in the eyes, and even the chair sitting under it is made of gold.

"Welcome to the world of seven days and seven nights." The familiar opening remarks appeared, and all players sat upright subconsciously.

The man who spoke was extremely handsome, wearing a small top hat, and every button on his clothes was inlaid with gems: "I am the host of this show, a smiling businessman."

As his name suggests, even when he paused, he kept a faint smile: "This field is a welfare field, and you will usher in the greatest welfare in your life."

Sur glanced at Yao Zhi, who shook his head and said that he had never heard of the welfare field. The other players looked at each other, seemingly unaware.

"Now, let's welcome the best middleman, Mr. Gou Baopu, with warm applause!"

The players clapped together.

A chubby man appeared out of thin air on the main seat. At first glance, he looked very happy, and he looked like a Maitreya Buddha. However, there are nine layers of crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling, and the light shines on Gou Baopu, but there is no shadow.

"Ghost King." An experienced player said subconsciously.

The smiling businessman admired the fear revealed by everyone unconsciously: "The game you need to clear is called borrowing and borrowing."

Yao Zhi: "What are the customs clearance conditions?"

"Don't be nervous, it's all said to be giving benefits," the smiling businessman rubbed his hands shyly: "There will be an auction of props here in three days."

Everyone, including Sur, was a little shaken, and the allure of the props almost conquered fear.

"Before the auction, please work hard to create wealth and maintain your daily life. If there is a surplus, you can save up to buy props."

"What is the maintenance of daily life?" someone asked.

Smiley businessman: "Just like the food in front of you, each portion is clearly marked with a price."

Sur looked down and took a closer look. There was indeed a row of black numbers on the periphery of the plate, even the base of the water cup.

"By the way," the smiling businessman seemed to suddenly remembered, and clapped his hands suddenly: "Accommodation is also charged."

The ghost king Gou Baopu raised his glass with a smile: "The construction cost here is not low. It's better to pay for the room if you can. The corridor may not be safe at night."

He turned his face and clapped his hands, two ghost dolls crawled out of the shadows, and stuck a piece of paper on the wall on tiptoe.

"The above tasks will be updated every day, and the bounty will be marked at the back." The ghost king Gou Baopu smiled kindly: "Everyone sees the ability to complete."

"It's getting late now." Others were looking at the task, but Zhu Yanyan, as a minority of female players, looked at Gou Baopu: "It's not practical to do the task."

Gou Baopu shrugged his eyelids, shook the wine glass, and stopped talking.

The smiling businessman said at the right time: "Add, if you have any treasures, you can exchange it with him at any time." He stopped suddenly, leaned over to Sur and sniffed: "I smell... You have a valuable treasure hidden on your body."

Sur lowered his eyes, this is clearly to make himself the target of public criticism.

Gou Baopu finally asked if anyone could eat the food on the table. When no one answered, he sent the ghost doll to take it away. He took a piece of bread in his mouth and disappeared from the hall in an instant.

The oldest player among the players was Lu Huan, who was fifty years old. However, his force value is quite high, and no one dares to despise him.

"It's better for everyone to gather together tonight," Lu Huan suggested.

No one refused. The danger at night is great, they can't afford the room temporarily, and the possibility of surviving together will increase.

Just as he was talking, the crystal lamp went out, leaving only the dimly lit small lights that were installed every few meters in the corridor. It was cold in the hall, and everyone temporarily rested in the corridor. At least there was a thick carpet here to isolate the air-conditioning from the ground.

The benefits of having a badge in the dungeon are vividly reflected, and you can know each other's names at a glance. So they basically didn't talk much, they each found a more comfortable position to sit down and closed their eyes to rest.

The night time was extremely difficult. I don't know how long it took, and finally someone couldn't stand it and asked, "What time is it?"

The watch could not be brought into the game, and there was no wall clock around, Zhu Yanyan replied, "About four hours have passed."

Seeing everyone staring at her, Zhu Yanyan said coldly, "I've been counting."

"Four hours..." Yao Zhi stood up, walked to a window in front of him and looked out, the sky didn't show any sign of brightening.

Zhu Yanyan: "Some dungeons may have twenty hours of day or night."

Hou Ke, who was sitting next to her, pursed his lips: "It shouldn't be so unlucky, right?"

Zhu Yanyan tilted her head, she never pinned her hopes on the kindness of the copy.

"Something is approaching." Sur suddenly said.

The hallway was quiet, at least for now. Lu Huan and Zhu Yanyan stood up immediately and prepared to change positions.

Although I didn't feel anything abnormal, my heart was always right.

Sur is not really sure, but feels a little cold. According to the experience of the previous two dungeons, whenever he feels this way, he is not far from hitting a ghost.

Like an animal migration, one person stands up and everyone follows.

Yao Zhi, who was walking at the back, suddenly shouted 'Run,' and pulled Sur forward at a 100-meter sprint speed.

Lu Huan glanced back and cursed. The ghost doll was no more than ten meters away from them. The corners of its mouth were wide, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed like a hole had been opened, and there were black holes under its nose.

However, it did not chase, but climbed onto the shoulder of a chef who had just approached. The latter was holding a kitchen knife and took several meters in one step. He stared at the player with resentment and asked, "Why?"

The chef was very displeased: "Why don't you eat my cooking?"

"Don't run away." Zhu Yanyan reminded in a low voice at the fork in the road.

At this time, placing an order is basically equivalent to being cool.

The player's force value is okay, endurance and running speed are not bad, Su Ersheng is young, even if the force value is not as good as others, Yao Zhi is pulling, but not pulling down.

After running for about ten minutes, someone looked back and said, "It seems to be safe."

Everyone stopped, leaning against the wall and gasping for breath.

Sur thanked Yao, who looked serious: "There is no money to eat, and the night time is not normal, so sooner or later, you will be exhausted."

The girl next to Zhu Yanyan said softly, "While you still have strength, why not finish the task first?"

"Let's die." Lu Huan said, "I saw it. The easiest way is to dig a hole for Uncle Zhao in the garden. The bounty is not enough for a full meal."

Zhu Yanyan said sternly: "If you don't eat, you can persevere, but if you don't drink water, it's even more troublesome."

Sur didn't say a word, and there was another voice not far away. It was expected that they would have to flee for their lives soon.

Hou Ke suddenly looked at the corner: "Whenever you can find Gou Baopu to make a deal?"

Smiley businessman smiling and nodding.

"If you meet a ghost on the way..."

Smiley businessman: "I'll send you there. Gou Baopu is a great middleman. For trading partners, he also provides free refreshments, but if he can't come up with something to his satisfaction..."

The latter words are self-evident.

Hou Ke called someone he knew: "Let's do a deal."

The man was stunned: "But I have nothing in exchange."

"I have it," Hou Kewei said, "I can lend you one."

The two seemed to have a good relationship, and the man hugged Hou Ke's neck excitedly: "Brother, you are so kind!"

After they left, the players fell silent again. Sur noticed that someone was looking at him, and looked over with a slight smile. The eyes collided, and the other party kept staring under the somewhat dodging gaze, until the man was uncomfortable and asked, "What do you see me doing?"

Sur knew that the man was making up his mind, so he silently wrote down his name without responding and looked away.

The voices in the distance were getting closer and closer, and just as everyone was hesitating whether to run away again, they saw a familiar figure walking towards them.

"Wai Ke?" Zhu Yanyan took a step back and kept a safe distance.

Hou Ke's sleeve was still stained with blood, and he was holding a door card in his left hand.

"Where's your friend?" Zhu Yanyan asked.

Hou Ke didn't answer, the host smiled and said, "I was killed by him."

Hou Kei cast an angry look at the host, but he was quickly discouraged in the eyes of the smiling businessman, gritted his teeth: "Will the transaction content be revealed?"

"Of course, the copy is improving." The host nodded as a matter of course: "After all, it is a welfare field, and I want to give everyone a reference."

Turning sideways and facing the crowd: "This smart player chose to kill his companions, knowing that selling his teammates is also a transaction."

Sur: "Players are forbidden to kill each other."

The smiling businessman leaned in and smelled it again: "It's still valuable, it seems that you haven't been robbed."

Sur glanced at the smiling businessman: "TOEFL."

At the same time, the smiling businessman's voice suddenly became stern: "I'll stress it again for the last time, Gou Baopu is a great middleman! As long as the things you trade are valuable, he can accept them."

Yao Zhi whispered to Sur: "The welfare field is probably not subject to some conditions."

"That's right!" The smiling businessman with a fluttering voice could hear it clearly: "Mr. Hou overdrafted a table knife and stabbed his companions. You are welcome to follow suit. However, I explained in advance that only when dealing with Gou Baopu. , you can not be restricted by some rules."

The host smiled and led Ho Ke to the room where he could stay, and bent down: "I wish you a happy night."

Seeing this, Sur's eyes flickered: "Can the copy be entered repeatedly?"

Yao Zhi shook his head: "Someone once counted the customs clearance method and the content of the dungeon, and finally found that it was a waste of effort."

Zhu Yanyan also said: "It is impossible for the game to have such a bug, allowing different players to repeat the experience."

Sur raised his eyebrows: "Hou Ke doesn't look like it's the first time he entered this dungeon."

It was a smiling businessman who answered him. The other party's tone was indulgent, but his eyes were full of maliciousness: "Welfare fields are different. If you are lucky enough, you may meet them many times."

After saying an exaggerated 'yo', he said, "Look, you guys seem to have new troubles again."

Transparent skin like a jellyfish oozes from the gaps in the ceiling, the sound of water ticking, the stagnant water that seeps down has a stench, and the carpet becomes sticky and unpleasant.

The smiling businessman stepped back into the corner to re-watch the play.

Sur suddenly said: "I want to make a deal."

Yao Zhi pulled him: "Don't be impulsive."

Sur said softly, "I know it."

The smiling businessman didn't give him a chance to go back and took Su Er directly to Gou Baopu.

With him there, the journey was safe and sound, even if he met a chef with a knife around the corner, he turned a blind eye to them.

As soon as the door opened, Gou Baopu took the initiative to stand up, showing a warm smile: "Welcome my distinguished guest, please take a seat."

Sur sat down opposite him.

Gou Baopu personally poured a cup of hot tea, Su Er blew it, took a sip, and then peeled the candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

The host will not lie about the rules. Since he said that the food here can be eaten, it must be edible.

Gou Baopu acquiesced in his actions and asked kindly, "What are the guests going to trade?"

Sur asked back: "As long as it uses value, anything can be done?"

Gou Baopu nodded: "But once it is judged to be worthless, you will have to use your life to compensate."

Sur took out a piece of paper and put it on the table.

Gou Baopu: "What is this?"

Sur: "Marriage contract."

The last copy was originally going to be burned together with Geng Tie, but the ghost king arrived earlier than expected, so he put the things in the brochure and put them away.

With the sugar supplement, Sur felt much better, and continued: "My deceased husband is the ghost king, but it's valuable."

Gou Baopu turned the beads on his wrist: "...he is him, you are you."

Sur: "The property of the husband and wife is shared, I am the master, and I will give you half of his property." During the period, he did not forget to leave the birth date of the ghost king: "In the beginning, the ghost marriage was his mother's master, and the old lady has probably been killed by revenge now. As the betrothed, my mother-in-law went and I have the right to deal with the ghost king's death."

Gou Baopu's eyelids trembled at the sound of his confident tone.

"Ming people don't speak secretly," Sur said seriously: "I can't even afford to eat at the moment, so I want to sell my deceased husband together to subsidize the family. Do you think it will work?"

"… "

The author has something to say:

Sur: Betray my love.

Ghost King: You have a debt of conscience.

Sur & Ghost King (together): No matter how much affection you give, you will never be able to buy it back!

Gou Baopu: …
